lols!

love to watch KOREAN DRAMA


BOYS OVER FLOWERS
( HANA YORI DANGO KOR.)
<<<<33333


so nice!
i feel sorry for that female main character, Jandi as she was bullying so badly...
:(
and for Koo Jun Pyo, he is so cute and funny in some way when he is afraid of insects!
;)

still watching!
haha!

:D
:D
i love it!
dear Jesus,
i would like You to accept me for becoming a Christian.
i will work to serve You
and too apply the words into my everyday life.
i believe in You
and i have took in the body of Christ and the blood of the Christ.
so my body and spirit are under Your control.
i will help others and spread to them in the name of Christ.
amen.


well, i alr had become Christian after taking in the body and the blood of the Christ.
because i believe in God
and the words in the bible show me sth that i need to understand wat i dun understand or cannot solve the difficulties within me.
everything in the bible is true
and i haf experienced many difficulties.


just like wat lynette had said in mhi fellowship...
the closer i am to God, the lesser the problems i haf
it is because i haf faced many difficulties
and thus i become stronger!
(:
there is sth that i fear the most is death!
lynette said that if i believe in God and pray to Him, those words will calm me down before my last breath...
i am scared after hearing the story abt the death of her friend!
oh my...


another thing...
ivy, u r right.
i am sorry..!
everyone in my group agreed tat...
my parents scold me cos they care abt me
and too my friends say out terrible things (say out sth honestly) in front of me cos they care abt me.
well, i understand right now.
of course, i was hurt after hearing those terrible words
and i haf to bear wif the grudges.
so sorry, ivy.
(p.s. dun tell anyone abt wat had happened, alrite ivy)

oh yea...
tat's good!


i had a talk wif my parents just now...


it is better for me to republic poly first to complete my IT diploma...
and then i will go to NAFA to complete my Media and Design diploma.

that is wat i suggested to parents


after my IT diploma at RP, i will go to take media and design diploma at NAFA.
to me, it is a good suggestion!
(:
*confident*


in fact, if i learn and know more abt IT, i may haf many chances of being accepted to many IT or technology companies.
so that's why i dun wanna take media and design over IT first.
for media and design, i can do after IT diploma and also i can do as i may haf learnt the animation frm IT on 3rd year.
furthermore, i can learn as much as i like, rite?
cant only focus on IT...
learn both of them will enable me to find any jobs easily!
:D
be a office worker or a cartoonist!
any will do as long as i get a GOOD job!
:D
:D
HOORAY!!!

XD

I passed my NAFA tests!
and i was accepted to NAFA!!!

so happy!
yes!!! YES!!!

*just now, i receive the letter*
lols!

but i am still worried abt hau en...

ah yes, we took the same test and even she sat beside me, taking nafa tests.
same for wei lie but in different campus.

i never see hau en online in msn much, man.
*worried*

somehow, sth pops out in my mind.
i dun noe whether i wanna go nafa or republic poly…
i dunno wat to do...
oh god, which one of paths should i choose???
nafa or republic???
help me, jesus!

i LOVE art so i should go to NAFA…
but i also LOVE IT (got animation in 3rd year) and even work on computer so i should go to republic poly…

wargh!
x@

gonna discuss wif my parents!

Graduation Night 2008!



:D



(*20 September*)


for the first and the last best times i have ever had!




;)





she is my mum...


and he is my dad.




my close graduated friends!




miss all of u guys!


=p



but that time which i haf hated the most is to stay under the SUPER HOT SUN for almost 3 hours!


we sweated a lot and our makeups was 'MELTING'!!!

lols!


it was all ms pilo's fault...

geez!

she kept talking leh...


anyway, i also miss some of my graduated friends beside jiayi and hau en...

and so on!

Thursday, February 12, 2009

Two more days to Valentine Day!

seem i am gonna crazy.
haha!


but actually it is not very easy for me to say some hint sentences to him...
argh!


imagine...

if i told him by sms on that day, i did hope he would not tell anyone...
simply i just tell him like,

"aiyo, i never see u for so long man!"
and so on...

psst!
(P.S. ivy told me that sentence...)
-.-'''
it sounds like i make myself stupid for the sake of him.
and IF i told him that, he MIGHT suspicious of me that i L*KE him...
then he might tell someone and someone might say, "wa! OMG!"
WAT IF!!!!????
i am scared leh!
i sure will die of embarrassment!


somehow

i still thinking if i should tell him or NOT?!
it was SUPER soooooooooo difficult!
and wat abt other party????
i fear the objection and too laughingstock may arise!
oh god...


dun think it is easy leh!
when u r in love wif him especially under such circumstances (i cant tell u wat circumstances are, alrite!), u will be in difficult position after confessing ur love to him or other way he may put u in such spot (sort of trouble or embarrassing).
i am totally serious!
WAT SHOULD I DO????!!!
WAT CAN I DO???!!!
if only i am not in love, my mind is full of freedom...
no need to worry abt the consequences of other parties!!!

Saturday, February 7, 2009

WHAT THE...!


i had not prepared sth yet!
so did joe eng!
we did miss out one of the games but anthony said that it was ok…
our plan was so CLOSE to failure but still managed to make the guests enjoying the event.
all thanks to anthony, vanessa and pauline for helping us!



oh my…!
yesterday was the last day to prepare for CNY party!
still thinking of unfinished games and decoration!
i felt like we did it at last minute!

still panic!
furthermore, we r stressed and felt that we haf no confident to make ppl happy on CNY party…
-.-'''

anyway, thanks to anthony for treating joe eng and me dinner!
:D


for the last 3 days to yesterday,
all we did was to rush there to there and carry tis and that everywhere.
plus, the items we were supposed to buy were so heavy and so big!
very tired!

anthony told us to calm down
but how can we suppose to be calm down?
we were worried tat the guests may be unsatisfied and also there had something that was uncompleted!

we had always hoped that event would work out well.



today,
i had to get up so early and went to mhi dic to continue on the decoration and games preparation.
i was tired and too sleepy…
that time, i tried to bear wif it no matter wat!
(:


there!
i miss everyone, my old friends!
:D
glad to see u guys come for CNY party!


when I first met wei lie, i was speechless.
but he is wei lie after all.
he changed his hair style as well as his appearance.
like frm pretty boy into cool and pranky boy.
lols
but his attitudes still are the same!
:D
haha!


i noe mandarin orange treasure was fun but too bad that the space was too small for many ppl to watch and support their own teams.
my apologies!
:(


ah!
see leon and james challenged each other.
totally funny especially james!
all he tried his best to dance in robot style but somehow he did sth make leon look like a fool.
and everyone laughed!
my god!

when it was the next person’s turn to dance in hot/sexy style, i was FREAKING shocked!
Totally freakin’ SHOCKED, alright!
i just pretended to laugh…
-.-
u noe who, rite?
i cant hold much longer and kept staring at her…
same for joe eng, looking at me as if she wanna tell me sth abt her.
oh my gosh!

for ivy, rafiqah, lakk and some of boys and girls, their dance styles were not bad…
i noe that some of them were shy!
haha!

i planned tat game so as to make ppl to feel comfortable slowly and too become stronger and braver slowly when standing in the centre of many ppl.
:D
even though my idea of that game was bad, it was alright as i can try to choose the better idea of tat game for the next party!



hey, ivy!
do tell me early abt the best idea of that game!
(:
so ppl will not get bored easily, alright.



there was prize-giving after dance picking.

so sorry, my SAC friends…
u cant get the first prize, only get second prize or third prize…
i am so sorry…
try ur best to get the first prize next party, ok?
:D
cheers!


1st prize-grpE
2nd prize-grpD
3rd prize-grpA
4th and 5th prize-grpB & grpC

aiyo!
wat a pity tat jia yi miss that fun…
hope u dun miss the fun next time, alrite (:



lols!
after cleaning up in the party and having a talk wif anthony, i went to meet my friends to play arcade.
super fun but tired!
i kept working for half a day (12 hours non-stop)!
reach home late at 11.30pm.



there is sth i wanna say out instead of keeping it to myself.

there at the party,
dun think i looked like a fool just cos i smiled to someone that i dun like.
nothing means i smiled at someone that i dun like cos they were my guests.

i dun give a damn abt it!
i am serious!

only way i haf done is to smile cos i dun wanna spoil the party, ppl’s moods and the atmosphere.
furthermore i also am organizing that party wif joe eng.
so that is my responsibility.
there is no way for me to give someone a shit look.
oh god why?!

is that i changed bit by bit???
or i simply let the past bygone by bygone???

and also some more that i dun like ppl who JUST CARED ABT FOOD!
they came for the sake of food…
and they too came late for food, not playing together through the games!
those were some of DUMB ppl!

NEVER spare the thought of the purpose for coming to CNY party is to ENJOY the moment wif their old friends and SHARE the joy!

i dun like to see some ppl writing on the feedbacks…

“that food is important”…
and
“that the games are boring”…

(i feel that they dun like fun and they JUST sat and watched and finally commented that the games were boring!
who the hell they were for not joining and supporting their own teams or not participating MORE?!
look like as if they hid into one corner.)


i felt i dun do a good job enough!
feel like i blame myself leh!

some ppl were unhappy cos they felt that we treated them no good enough
like they joined the groups that were strangers to them and they preferred to join together wif their old friends.

the purpose for joe eng and I had done for them was to separate them frm their old friends and mix wif other new friends.
so they should noe that we wanted them to get along and too together as teams!!!!!



look like my first time organization for CNY party is a failure.
how disappointing!
i am disappointed wif myself, not guests lar.
oh god…
geez!

Sunday, February 1, 2009

we visited MS HAN’s place!


for a long time i had ever seen and talked to her since the last visit was at my old school 3 years ago!


i still miss her leh ever if after i had visited her today!


lols!
we got a lot of things to talk and even ate lunch together at her place!
the more, the merrier!
:D

whoo!


that time…
after church and fellowship, i rushed to station to meet shiy and lakk.
i had to bring them to her place, man.
cos they dunno where she lives.
and also i had to go back to station again to bring the rest after ida arrived at her place.

hau en, rachel and i waited for chan ying and joyce for more than one hour!
my legs were so tired and i perspired too much!
geez!

how i wish singapore has 4 SEASONS instead of only summer!

and when i returned to her place, lakk told me that ms han was WORRIED abt me!

she kept saying,

“where is zhoumeng?”,
“why does she take so long?”

and so on!

haha!
i am glad to hear that!

of course, my first time to hear ms han saying like that!
and she is the first teacher i had ever heard!
:D

joe eng cant go wif me…
her bad…
seem she was so busy…
and so did wei lie.
haiz!


there ms chan came to join us!
we listened to ms chan talking
wat she had talked abt was…
our future!

sound like she was worried abt our future!



there i was lucky again!
same for rachel!
we got the same sentiment of the fortunate telling paper…

“Your hard work will soon be rewarded.”

that means i will be rewarded after working hard for the CNY party!?
i hope my reward is LOVE!
haha!


i hope sth GOOD will happen on the valentine day!
i hope it will be a good guy and too hope he will be my ideal bf.
:D
ohplease!
*pray*


:D
:D


and for rachel, it is to pass her o level result!
lols!

heh!
:))))))

Saturday, January 31, 2009

yay!


my family and i went to japanese restaurant for lunch @ JP!
they r quite expensive leh… oh yea
at least we r happy that we had lunch together.


my bro was super funny!
even if he was full, he should at least take some of food altogether in a plate and ate slowly…

but instead he took every one piece of food in each large plate!

and the same waitress had to clear our table so many times!
OMG!
-.-
i felt sorry for her, man.
it’s all my bro’s fault…
anyway, it was her duty and job to clear plates frm her customers’ tables.

but anyway, my bro is so CUTE!
lols!

haha!
i took a lot of food!
still as greedy as ever!
:D

my mum dun like japanese food…
she ate some japanese food that was almost the same as the western food like fried shrimp and so on.

and for my dad, he liked to eat a lot of RAW fish, lobster and crab!
whoa!

i can eat like that but not too much or else i might feel like throwing up!
=x

for me, i like the most is SUSHI!
any sushi will do!
even it is raw or cooked!
:)
:)
and too i like to eat SWEET japanese cakes and snacks!

we were so full, u noe…!
that we dun wanna eat dinner anymore!
haha!

Friday, January 30, 2009

OMG!!!!


why????!!!!!!!

i had recieved msg...

i wanna go interactive and digital!!!
but in the end, i was applied to IT(R12)!
geez!
*frown*
interactive and digital was my FIRST CHOICE!
i love animation!
wargh!
and IT was my second choice...
every time i wish i was accepted to that first course.


man, i feel like it is a fate!
i dun mean it but i am just feeling like.
i guess i follow my dad's path...

he works as a computer scientist under a-star company...
but it is alright as he willingly to help me to understand IT.
lols!

maybe i can be smart and hardworking like him.
i am trying hard...
u noe that i am not smart enough but it was not cos i am stupid...
it is cos i was SO LAZY!!!!
lols!


in fact, i wanna be a smart girl like i was in the past...
i always scored A on some of the subjects...
but now... wat is happening to me...
i score no A on a single of the subjects!
-.-'''
stupid of me!


but dr keng told me that not only i follow my earthly father's path but to follow my Father in Heaven as HE will never let me fall and hurt myself.


it makes sense.
i noe wat it means but somehow there is a reason behind the sentence that i dun understand.
like 'HE never let me fall and hurt myself'.
i kept thinking but i could not understand so i asked hau en.


now i understanding wat it is trying to telling me!
all thanks to hau en for her explanation!
like wat she had said to me...

"you obey your earthly father, but he can't do more than the heavenly father...
like when you fall down from a mountain, your earthly father can't help,
but the heavenly father has the power to catch you back safely.
it's not for you to decide which father is real. it's everybody's father."


:D
hau en is really sensible!
whoa!

here she said to me...
"not just understand, but also apply the word in your everyday life."


yay!
just now, my parents agreed to keep their word that...
TMR we r gonna haf SUSHI!!!!
horray!

Wednesday, January 28, 2009

i went to joe eng 's place.

nothing is particular...


that time before i entered her place, i FORGOT to bring mandarin oranges!
shit!

i alr at her place, just in front of her door...
too late to go back to supermarket at mrt station.
-.-'''


wat the...
that was really bad, man!

another thing was...


before i left my hse to visit joe eng's place, wearing black and white blouse, my mum scolded me not to wear this kind of clothes during CNY...

cos this might bring bad luck to others when i visit other ppl's homes as well as bring the death upon them...
-.-
i dunno much abt it yet why the hell my mum SCOLDED me fer?!
at least she told me not to do that...
geez!
i changed to another blouse.


then we talked abt girl stuffs and too abt the coming of CNY.
also work on sth to prepare for CNY...


after that, we went to yanyu's place.
the way joe eng and yanyu quarrelled was so funny!
haha!
even when the paper struck on the printer...
yanyu acted like a crazy, using a lot of energy to pull the paper out of the printer!


i do wish next time that i need to RMB to bring oranges when visiting other ppl's place!
it is a MUST!

Tuesday, January 27, 2009

and when i came to spore, i never went to snow city, not ever once!

those kids were cute!
there was a boy on the right...
he was crying to his mummy.
haha!


see i was carrying a little LAMB!
it was so light and CUTE!
i felt wanna hug it tighter!
but i cant or else it might die of suffocating and i might haf to pay the higher price for causing the death of the lamb to its owner.


i felt like i was in the old movie where ppl lived in the older days.
there had a lot of old shops where they sold the old goods in the famous old street.
heh!

tat park was gorgeous!

Sunday, January 25, 2009

after all she had done so much for us to push our results into better PSLE results.
even if she scolded us, she did it for our own good.
so do pls come tis sunday (1st feb).


however...
i DUN like to see or hear ppl saying like tis...
"if few ppl come, then i am not coming."
or so on.


i DUN LIKE THOSE WHO MADE THIS KIND OF IDIOT EXCUSES!!!!
if some of u r not free and cant meet at exactly time, then u can come to her place later.
it is alright.
i can see some of those just now had sms me wif this kind of excuse.


i noe i was too harsh but pls spare her thought.
and we cant be too self- centred...
so pls!
:(

2 days ago... (20 jan)


i got an art lesson...

i forgot how to sketch the picture


so my art teacher came to review all the skill and sketching...
now i could do it but not much better cos i never practice enough after and before o level exams.
haiz!


then later in the afternoon, hau en came to my hse and i tutored her the art work cos the test at nafa started the next day...

she did ok in the beginning...
and there she did quite well after her umpteenth try...
she seemed tired so i gave her break by talking abt other stuffs.
:)


before that, we shopped around to buy art stuffs.

somehow joe eng urged me to send her another invitation card...
i was so busy shopping yet joe eng interrupted me.
-.-
she also asked to be hurry to send it to her.

I AM STRESSED RIGHT NOW!!!

WHY!!!???
even if it is my holiday this month that i suppose to be relaxed, i am so BUSY.
geez!

so does joe eng.
finally, joe eng let me send to her by tonight...
phew!
no need for me to be frustrated.


after taking a break, we went out for dinner.

we r sooo hungry yet it is not time for dinner!
haha!
we ate japanese food.
again, we shopped.
i bought a magazine- POPTEEN.
those models, who wore the fashionable clothes, were soo cool!
so did their makeup :)
hau en and i really admired their styles!

hau en stayed at my place for overnight!

lols!
we chatted, played and continued drawing.

bwahaha!
hau en lost to me in UNO game by 4-5!
yay!
then we slept at late 11.30pm.





yesterday, we woke up at 6.30am.
man, soooo early!
hau en got up before me and even switched on the light to make me open my eyes wider...
i covered and groaned...but still i forced myself to get out of my bed.

then we went to nafa...
we arrived there so early.
lols!



those tests at nafa were super hard!!!
first test was better and easier for me to draw and sketch frm observing the different angles of an object...
yet hau en said that it was too hard for her.


my god!
there another test was the creative poster.
the test asked us to do sth creative according to the title- local food festival!
it was soo hard for me to think of the creative design leh!!!
hau en said it was easier and better than the first test.
but somehow, we felt that sth we did during the second test was WRONG!
hau en alr had seen wat other students who took the test wif us did the posters wrongly...
like they did anyhow.
oh man!
hope hau en and i PASS our TESTS!

when it was over...
quite a long hours to do our tests jux like the exams,
i felt dizzy...
guess i overdid myself, thinking too much wat design should i put to match to the local food festival and wat was my expression of it and wat was my reason for doing like tat and so on!
it was wat the test required me to do!
argh!
oh yea, it started early at 9pm and ended at late 1pm...
then we went to bugis to haf lunch...
and there we went to bugis street...
hau en wanted to buy a new pair of grey shorts but none of them attracted her...


wat a boring day!
so i went to hau en's hse...
i saw the fat grey cat had grown bigger and fatter since i had visited her hse when i was primary 2 and onwards...
really a long time ago and tis fat cat was still alive!
lols!
i really hate tis cat cos it once had scratched my face wif its SHARP CLAW when i carried it.
i got SCAR on my face leh!
but the wound on my face alr had disappeared.

tis fat cat was not i came to play wif...
it was hau en's new friendly orange cat.

it was soo cute!


it was so curious and came to sniff on a stranger like me but not gonna bite me.
:D


i rather played wif ham (friendly orange cat) than kit kan (fat grey cat).
oh! hau en named those two cats.
